The Protectors®
The Protectors®: Pivot is a podcast about reinvention, resilience, and the moments that change the direction of our lives.
Hosted by former federal agent, Army veteran, author, and podcast host Jason Piccolo, the show explores what happens after service, success, failure, loss, burnout, and transition. Through conversations with veterans, leaders, athletes, authors, entrepreneurs, and everyday people who chose a new path, Pivot focuses on growth, purpose, and the courage to move forward.
This isn’t about living in the past.
It’s about what comes next.
The Protectors®: Pivot is for anyone navigating change, searching for purpose, rebuilding identity, or stepping into a second chapter.

Elle Rueger created SOLEDIER SOCKS to give back. She joined the show recently to talk about creating a small business, partnering with non-profits, creating a Made in the USA sock, and a ton more. Look for SOLEDIER SOCKS partnering up with Chive Charities soon!
From Their Site: Our Story, In 2010, while our friend Tommy was deployed to Afghanistan, we sent him several care packages filled with toiletries, protein bars, and the most requested item: SOCKS! Tommy safely returned, thanked us for the socks, and explained how the condition of his feet improved almost immediately while on long, multi-day missions! It was in that moment the idea of SOLEDIER SOCKS was born - sell a pair of socks, donate a pair to our troops!....In partnership with a few nonprofits supporting military and veteran communities, we found more opportunities to raise awareness and give back! We were inspired to create our Stand For a Cause line which has donated approximately $20,000 to 9 military nonprofits.
